How do i fit the back break cable on a bmx bike?

Question

I bought a brand new cable and took the old one off to re-spray and can't remember how to put it on again??

Answer 1

Not enough information.

You'll need to provide the type of brake (U, V, sidepull, etc) and whether it includes a cable detangler. There are at least 5 different types of brakes that are used and each one uses a different cable routing method.

Hopefully, if you have a U or V brake, you cleaned and lubed the pivots with white lithium grease and have the return springs in there correctly or you'll be in for some big problems.

Go to http://www.parktool.com and search for repair instructions. This may or may not help you.
